Jury deliberates in Los Gatos mom sex case

LOS GATOS, Calif. 
Jury deliberations have begun in the case of a Los Gatos mother of four accused of having sex with one of her teenage son's 16-year-old friends.

The attorneys in 48-year-old Sara Cole's trial made their closing arguments on Tuesday.

Cole has pleaded not guilty to three felony counts of unlawful sex with a 16-year-old boy and one misdemeanor count of molesting or annoying a child.

Her attorney, Michael Armstrong, told jurors the teen lied when he said he had sex with Cole 30 to 40 times. Armstrong said Cole had welcomed the troubled teen into her home.

According to the San Jose Mercury News (
